Euromillions: one player in France wins 178 million euros in the draw of 28 November 2025

A new XXL millionaire has just emerged in France. A player who validated his grid in Hexagon won the Euromillions jackpot of 178 million euros in the draw on Friday 28 November 2025, announced FDJ United. A dizzying sum that instantly propels its holder into the very small circle of the country's greatest winners, while reviving the thrill that surrounds each European super-cagnotte.

The evening draw delivered a winning combination that will be a milestone for European game lovers. To pick up the pactole, the following numbers had to be aligned:

• 5‐29‐33‐39‐42
• Stars: 3 and 9

However spectacular it may be, this gain is not a national record. By August 2025, five friends in France had shared the maximum pool of EUR 250 million, the current legal ceiling for EUR million. This common record, which is at the top of what regulation allows, remains the absolute reference in Hexagon.

The year 2025 was also marked by repeat jackpots flirting with the limits of the game. The €250 million prize has already been reached and won several times among participating countries this year — notably in Austria, Ireland and France (in August). A chain that illustrates the particular dynamics of recent months, with amounts regularly culminating at the maximum permitted level. While the EUR 250 million level remains the legal ceiling, its frequency reached this year confirms the unbroken appeal for this European event and the drive power of its drawings.

Beyond the record, the Euromillions also points out that moderate packages can pave the way for life-changing gains. Recently, a Tarn player cashed more than 7 million euros for a bet of 2.50 €. Without touching the main pool, this example highlights another reality of the game: the ranks of lower, often less publicized winnings can also offer considerable amounts.

The November 28 draw is therefore part of a singular 2025 sequence, where jackpots will have coexisted at the top of the legal ceiling and major winnings outside the first row. In this landscape, the cheque of 178 million euros appears to be a colossal victory, while remaining below the historic summit recorded this summer in France. The combination of several record jackpots in different countries during the year confirms, if necessary, the European dimension of the Euromillion and the strength of its attractiveness.

At this point, the announcement is limited to the essential: a winner in France, a jackpot of 178 million euros and a clearly identified winning combination. The rest — emotions, projects, and future decisions — belongs to the holder of the winning ticket, which joins the short list of nine-digit winners in the country.

To be noted:

• One player in France won €178 million in the Euromillions draw of Friday, November 28, 2025.
• Winning combination: 5-29-33-39-42; stars 3 and 9.
• The national record remains that ofAugust 2025: €250 million shared by five friends (legal ceiling).
• In 2025, the maximum prize of 250 M€ has already been achieved and won** in several countries, including Austria**, Ireland** and France** (August).
• The moderates can make a big deal: a Tarn player took more than €7m for €2.50.

As always, this kind of gain arouses its lot of dreams and stories to write. Let us remember, however, the indispensable principle of responsible play**: try your luck, yes, but keeping your head cold and respecting a reasonable setting.
